Eagle soccer is in full swing this winter, with both the Boys’ and Girls’ teams actively competing. The Varsity Boys’ team started their season with a few losses but has since turned things around, earning five wins. On January 1st, they played against Carroll and secured a convincing victory with a score of 3-0. Throughout the season, they faced off against teams like Idea, Canyon Lake, and Alice, managing to keep their opponents’ scores to less than one goal in those matches. Unfortunately, their winning streak came to an end when they matched up against Bandera.

Coach Pacheco, who has been with the team since their junior high days, recently shared his thoughts in an interview with the local news outlet, Pleasanton Express. He expressed great excitement about the current season, noting the special journey he has witnessed as the players have grown over the years. “Now they’re seniors, and seeing them grow, it’s been something really special,” he stated.

With twelve seniors on the Varsity team, Coach Pacheco emphasizes the importance of team bonding as they prepare to begin district play on January 27th against Floresville. The energy and camaraderie among the players are palpable, setting the stage for an exciting remainder of the season. Pride, pride!
